Day Thirteen, Stauning Air Show



Today was a laid back day. We miss Ellen very, very much and wish her a safe and speedy trip back to Spain. We've all been spoiled by not having to go through security and long wait lines, so Ellen - get ready!!

The local TV station broadcast a newsclip of Ras' landing and reuniting with his sister and other friends. To see this seamless landing, go to http://www.tv2regionerne.dk/reg2005/player.aspx?id=368350&r=6.

An additional number of airplanes flew in today to participate in the air show. Among the many entries we found a couple to be noteworthy. Two Danish built aircrafts,KZ4 - very rare and thought to be the only one left, and KZ2 - a pre-WWII aircraft. A unique French registered single seater Delta flying wing aircraft flew in from Belgium. It just didn't seem possible that this tail-less craft (which I dubbed the "ladybug") would take off, but take off it did, and beautifully. Tomorrow will be the highlight of the air show with flying stunts, a dinner and awards ceremony.
